Ascents by Alastair McDowell having Sport CPR

Cool throws and moves through the first two bolts then awesome sustained crimping on good edges, a nice change to climb this style without worrying about snapping edges like the other day. A classic wall climb

Quite easy for the grade but Ill take it. Highlight was the bivvy ledge before the crux moves

Three boulder problems stacked together, really sweet route! First onsight of the grade,I was stoked. P1 only

Great positions and views. Perfect winter crimping conditions. Not often you get to cut loose on a roof like that with such a great backdrop!!

Absolutely epic long pitch! Felt like an easier version of disco non stop party, with some thin punchy sequences down low and awesome steeper jugging up top. Great morning out!

Nice sustained headwall great jugs!

Funky start and lovely jamming at the top

Wooo stoked to get this one done. Super nice route

Sweet climb!

Short route with a snappy crux, some tricky footwork at the two crimp rails to get that left heel in was the key for the move to the slot off the side pull

Beautiful long pitch, nice warm up

First 25, stoked! 4th shot. Really cutting this climb your age game close, only 4 days before turning 26.

Fought a hard fight at the top, almost sliming off the final jug, just squeaked it.

Fun

Almost confounded by the crux move at the top on the tiny undercling , somehow pulled through afterr a long shake out... Woo!

Sensational, all the pitches are amazing, deserves the hype

The key beta for the undercling throw is to go A Muerte. Stoked to clean up this old project last tried 2 years ago when I couldn’t even touch that jug!

Down first try today after 4 goes on it last week. Can still feel that kneebar jug digging into my thigh! All worth it. Great route

A great afternoon hit out! Finished the last pitch on dusk. Some exciting air below you! Instead of cheering tourists at the top-out there was a policeman responding to some worried hikers. Typical. We abseiled in to the base on one 60m rope fixed from the top, it just made the ground on stretch.

A very good climb

Pulled it together seconding Ro after his sick send. What a beautiful route!

Short and powerful then balancey over lip. Second shot

Cleared the final crux just as the last golden rays of sun lit up the cliff and the stiff breeze carried me to the anchor. A magical moment

First route at Wye and it was a good one

Another good warmup

Good warmup a bit pumpy

Cool arete with rounded jugs

Tricky crux , pulled a sweat as a warm up, did the job

A pretty cool multipitch adventure off the beaten path. Back to back 50m pitches of sustained gr 23 climbing all on carrots and mostly good rock. Nice exposure to be climbing on a clean continuous 200m sweep of orange rock. We actually intended to do Groseness, but accidently diverted onto this route just to the left after the second pitch! I was wondering why there were so many bolts, it defintely wasn’t runout. I actally ran out of draws and bolt plates on the two long pitches and had to use single biners and prussics for draws, even a one handed slip knot for the last bolt... Steph’s chalkbag unclipped itself o the 4th pitch along with half our bolt plates and still a 45m 22 to go, luckily I had a few cams and made a new chossy trad variant finish. No falls but used the rope a few times to back clean... This wall is well worth a visit! Beautiful sun all afternoon.

Last route of the day, not too hard at the grade

Some intricate thin moves at the top! Loved the shallow finger lock. Good finish to the day

I was stoked on this route

Sensational. OS p1, great stemming up the long corner, p2 fell off on 2nd at the last move of the crux, truly desperate. Loved the lusty traverse into the flake and upwards into a nails hard sequence of two finger pockets sharp sidepulls and sandy slopers... nails! A bold first ascent, phew...

Classic! Every pitch was unique and tricky. Would go again to get p2-3 clean, they were hard but awesome

After a desperate first attempt at the crux out right, found the sequence and held on for the rest of the ride

Pumpy for a 19

Sent it on the pre-placed gear, questionable ethics I admit, have rarely ever climbed this way on trad before, and it has left me with a strange half-satisfied feeling. Will have to come back another time for the proper tick. Such a sensational line, well worth returning to for another lap. This route felt like a thinner version of the Janicepts, in the same realm of classicdom.

Warm down by headlamp, quite engaging

Great route, sent on the third attempt

An awesome long route on carrot bolts, turning the final roof was epic. First pitch was an intense warmup! Pumpy and technical

More fun

Heinous crimping and pockets

Super fun! I attribute the success to new bouldering shoes

Fun bit of roof pumping around the lip

Very difficult
